title: [ABO determination in blood stains on stain carriers pretreated with usual household products].
abstract: Linen has been treated with 20 different remedies for clothes (impregnating agents, fabric softeners, detergents, finishes, and stainremovers; see tab. 2) in "normal" and "high" concentration. After short, intentionally incomplete washing and after successive drying 5 microliters and 10 microliters blood each of the six major ABH types have been applied. Stains have been ABH typed by the absorption-inhibition test according to Holzer, the absorption-elution test using stain extracts according to Chisum, and another absorptions-elution test performed in tubes. Only 3 of the 20 remedies had no effect on the results (tab.3). The AI-test showed no false results, but partly reduced absorption and haemolysis of the added red blood cells. Both AE-tests gave false-positive and false-negative results. Compared with the tube test the method described by Chisum was more reliable. The rate of false results depended on the concentration of the remedies used for the treatment of the linen. The majority of the incorrect results (but not all!) could have been recognized by processing controls analogously (see tab. 4 and 5; legend in English under tab. 5).
